Peggy Finley, pictured here, and Peter Cadigan are each being held in the Sangamon County jail on $1 million bond.
I have to admit this is a new
one on me. Two Illinois EMS workers are being charged with murdering a
patient based in large part on police bodycam footage.
Earl
Moore Jr. died in the wee hours of December 18 following an ambulance
trip from his home to St. John's Hospital in Springfield, Sangamon
County, Illinois. The coroner ruled that the "medical treatment" he
received was the proximate cause of his death. Specifically compression
and positional asphyxia from being strapped down to a gurney face
down. The death was classified as a homicide and Peggy Finley, 44, and
Peter Cadigan, 50, both employees of Lifestar Ambulance Service, have
been charged with Moore's death. Lifestar has refused to comment.
The
basic cause of his transport was "hallucinations." The ambulance was
summoned by responding cops. Each of the EMS workers is still being
held pending $1 million bail.
